Introduction
This is a collection of all Yagi antenna designs that have appeared in the Whirlpool forum thread Homemade NextG Yagi.

The above graphic is a representation of a basic yagi antenna with 5 elements. The number of Director elements will vary according to the antenna design. Distance measurements are given as the distance of each element from the Reflector element and not from the previous element. All measurements are in millimeters Unless otherwise noted, all antennas use an element diameter of 10 mm.
